Paranormal Romance, X-Men and Living Tattoos: Marjorie M Liu

Marjorie M Liu lives between the U-S and China and her work as a writer sits somewhere between fantasy, romance, speculative fiction, comics, film and the world of gaming. She describes her work as urban fantasy and paranormal romance, and sees herself as writing from traditions that include both Angela Carter and Joss Wheedon. But she also writes comics for the giant American comic book company Marvel. Many of her comics are spin offs of the X-Men and Wolverine series and she's also Marvel's new writer for its Astonishing X-men series. Marjorie Liu was a guest of the Brisbane Writers Festival.

Marjorie Liu

Writer of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, in both conventional and graphic novel and comic form. She says of herself: "I write books about women warriors covered in demonic tattoos, and men who can shape-shift into tigers. If a merman or gargoyle shows up, all the better! I also write comics for Marvel."Tweets as @marjoriemliu
